Carrefoursa, a venture between the French retail giant and local conglomerate Sabanci Holding, plans to build a Carrefour hypermarket within the complex.


The assets are being sold for EUR267m (US$395m) to developers Apollo Real Estate and Multi Turkmall.


The transaction is expected to lead to a capital gain of around EUR150m (US$222m) before tax, Carrefour said.


The shopping centre is expected to open in 2010 and the Carrefour hypermarket will become the retailer’s 20th in Turkey.
